Handles migrations well and has reduced our downtime
For small databases that are less than a terabyte, GoldenGate handles the migration well. You don't need much input so long as the processes don't upend. As soon as there's a problem, then, obviously, you need to diagnose it. It all depends on the scenario, on the size of the databases, whether you're doing schema replication, or table replication. We normally do the whole database, taking everything across. Finally, because this is an Oracle product, there is support available 24/7.

Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It moves the data as you set it up, and it works. I am also very impressed with its stability and scalability. It is not super feature-rich, but the new releases have more functionality. It recently had more native integrations with Oracle Database. If you are using it against an Oracle database, it has a lot more functionality."
"When we are replicating data between similar databases then it is straightforward."
"It is a scalable solution."
"They've recently improved the ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature is data replication capability."
"It works best with Oracle."
"CDC is the most valuable feature."
"GoldenGate enables us to merge and transform data from various sources in real time. It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."
"The most valuable aspect is the product is easy to manage, with a good dashboard. We can easily configure it on the front end and back end."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"It's really easy to install."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"The solution's most valuable feature is data cloning."
"The product is efficient in handling large volumes of data."
"The most valuable feature is VDB provisioning."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
 

Cons

"The process of transforming the data between two different databases is inefficient and needs to be improved."
"The solution's licensing price is very expensive and could be made more competitive."
"GoldenGate is expensive. It's costly because this solution is unique in our market. The GoldenGate Cloud Service is cheaper than the on-premise solution."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"It's stable but you have to know how to maintain it. That's why it's not 10 out of 10 for me. There are some bugs, there are some issues here and there. All of a sudden your process is not working and you have to figure out why, and sometimes it's not so clear."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"The problem with GoldenGate is it is very complex to use. You need heavyweight skills to use it."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"My only complaint about this solution is the price."
"Delphix needs better partnerships from a customer perspective. It's how they sell it, not what they're selling."
"Delphix is a strong solution for virtualization, but it's not strong enough for creating data, so we have to use another solution for creating new data."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is based on anual licensing with additional costs for support packages."
"Oracle GoldenGate's cost is high."
"We have purchased corporate licensing to use Oracle GoldenGate."
"The solution would be costly for a small organization."

"The cost is $370K annually for the Delphix Masking Engine and Delphix Virtualization Engine."
"I would say the price is a little high but affordable for our needs."
"The solution's pricing was reasonable and lower than one million."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
